  To address feedback or ringing from your Duncan Musical Instrument Amplifier when no guitar is plugged in: * Reduce the Overdrive, Master Volume, and/or Treble controls until the ringing stops. * Swap the 12AX7 tube in modules to find the lowest micro phonic tube, and place it in the first module. * With two Hi-Gain modules in one channel, we recommend using an "FET" module in the first position. If you are searching for an "ultra FE- Gain" situation, try the Hot Mod.
